Yes.  Sorry, I thought I had changed that.

Do you have any idea what the use case is (if there is one) for $*?  The only modules I've found so far which use it are g-o-a and udisks.  I understand the difference between $* and $@, just not why one would use $* here...

No use case. Someone somewhere used $* because it sort of worked and these modules cut&pasted from the wrong place :)

Because g-o-a and udisks have the same author. ;-)

Evan's last patch looks perfect. I was just answering to his question

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
